Parameters
chassis chassis-number: Specifies the member ID of an IRF member device.
Usage guidelines
Each device has a unique SN and DID. When you register a license for a device, you must provide its SN and DID.
The DID changes each time you use the license compress command to compress the license storage. Use the display license device-id command to identify the up-to-date DID each time you register licenses.
The DID is contained in an .id file. Upload the file when you register the license with the license center.
Examples
# Display the device SN and DID.
<Sysname> display license device-id
SN: 210231S12500XSUPSUPC

Parameters
license-file: Specifies the path of an activation file, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 127 characters. The activation file must be valid and stored on the device.
chassis chassis-number: Specifies the member ID of an IRF member device.
Usage guidelines
To install a license activation file successfully, make sure the SN and DID used for registering the feature license matches the current SN and DID of the IRF member device.
A licensed feature can run on the IRF member device where its activation file is installed even after the IRF member device joins another IRF fabric.
Examples
# Install activation file 20130810.ak.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] license activation-file install flash:/license/20130810.ak

Parameters
license-file: Specifies the file path, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 127 characters.
chassis chassis-number: Specifies the member ID of an IRF member device.
Usage guidelines
Use this command to revoke an unexpired license if you want to transfer the license from one device to another.
When an activation file is uninstalled, the system creates an Uninstall file. Use this file together with the SN and DID of the transfer destination to register the license for the transfer destination.
A feature cannot run after you uninstall all of its activation files.
Trial licenses are not transferrable. When you uninstall the activation file of a trial license, no Uninstall file is created.
Examples
# Uninstall activation file flash:/license/20130810.ak.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] license activation-file uninstall flash:/license/20130810.ak
This operation might take some time. Do not perform any other operations until the operation is completed or a failure message is displayed. Please wait...Done.

Parameters
chassis chassis-number: Specifies the member ID of an IRF member device.
Usage guidelines
Use this command if the free license storage (see the display license feature command) is not sufficient.
The DID changes each time the license storage is compressed. Before performing a compression, make sure all licenses registered with the old DID have been installed. They cannot be installed after the compression.
This command clears invalid licenses (expired licenses and uninstalled licenses) and Uninstall keys from the license storage area. Back up the Uninstall keys before you compress the license storage.
Examples
# Compress the license storage.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] license compress
This command will delete all data relevant to uninstalled and expired keys/licenses, including Uninstall keys, and create a new device ID for activation keys/files. Make sure you have saved the Uninstall keys so you can apply for a new activation key/file for the unexpired licenses that were covered by the uninstalled activation keys/files.
Are you sure you want to continue? [Y/N]: Y
